I'm sure it would work fine. But for the bullets I'm shooting there should be no issue even if I were to go to the 155 Berger.
 
What is the weight of your rifle? I have basically the same set up in mind, barrel is the last of the purchases. I was leaning proof sendero but that twisty lilja barrel is nice. I also live close to mile high, I might have to hit them up and see what they can do for me.

Thanks
 
I am hoping the Hornady 143 ELD-X is going to perform, fingers crossed.

I sent Dave Kiff couple of dummies with the 143 seated with the top of the boat tail seated at the shoulder neck junction.

He ground the reamer for this seating depth and turned the neck down to .295". It is still a no turn neck, but tighter than factory. Dave's standard 6.5 PRC reamer has a .298" neck. Yeah Yeah, I'm an anal BR shooter.

For hunting here in the People's Republic of California, I hope the Barnes 127 LRX will shoot well.

I have built a couple of rigs with faster twists to shoot the Barnes bullets, they seem to work better with a faster twist.

Built a 25 Souper for my hunting partner on a Mod 70 Feather weight. Used a Bartlein 1:9 twist barrel, thing is a tac driver!
